We published in the last issue of the Bahraini newspaper “Al -Watan” in our weekly column, the radiance of an article entitled: “The neighborhood’s arenas call your children, so let the call”, in the number 7175 issued on Saturday, August 2, 2025, where we talked about the arenas of neighborhoods or Al -Furjan, as it is the place where the children of the neighborhood meet to play for group games, and through these games they acquire the social and communication skills such as: Leadership, communication skills, the ability to build relationships and friendships, and other social skills that are difficult to learn through study halls and training seats. And those relationships that arise in children’s stadiums are only an extension of the neighbors’ relationships with each other, and those relationships extend until they grow up and perhaps until they move to other neighborhoods, so that the relationship between the children of neighbors remains a continuous coherent relationship.
This article was received by the readers, and perhaps the most reactions were to express feelings of happiness and joy just because they recovered the memories of playing with the children of the neighbors, and one of the readers says: God bless our neighbors who were patient to disturb us at all times as the time of the afternoon, which is the time of rest, and they bear the annoyance Our screams, and we kicked the doors as we play football, and our screams when playing ball, scandalous or clinical, may God have mercy on those who died of them, and prolonged the life of the living from them.
As for the reader, Siham Al -Khashrami, which is one of the interactive readings with the social theses, she says: Today’s children spend long hours on a daily basis in front of the iPad mobile phones so that their communication with those around them is almost interrupted, but fortunately that the weekly family gathering of families is still standing, the group stadiums for children are still present but in another way, the grandchildren meet in the weekend, or in a garden “Hosh” is the grandfather of the grandfather to play together team games such as football, tranquility, or others, to acquire through this game and team interaction a lot of skills, so they highlight their screams, which are full of happiness and joy.
Social activist Naima Jabri wrote: How much I like the topics you present, as she is at the heart of societal life, which links the bonds of love and union between adjacent families, the fate is to adjacent, whether it is intentionally or unintentionally, and that does not constitute a difference. The interaction between the neighbors is a great blessing, and it works in good and bad times, including the interaction between the children and youth of the same neighborhood to support each other and the hard work to meet the needs and requirements of the common neighborhood. Children are the most beneficiaries of this interaction between neighbors in one neighborhood. Just as I indicated that they are learning how to deal with others, teamwork, and the required behaviors in dealing.
As for the young woman, Areej Khaled, she says: The children of these generations may not meet in the squares of the neighborhood, but they meet virtually in the “WhatsApp” groups, and they interact and talk together. Each generation has its characteristics and interests.
By offering the opinions of the esteemed readers, we find that they see that the gathering between children and the collective interaction may not be in the neighborhood’s arenas, but it has other alternative images such as gathering in the homes of the ancestors, or in the virtual world and in all cases they communicate and interact, and I say that I agree with them, but at the same time I hope that the neighborhood’s squares will not be absent and its positive impact on the upbringing of generations .. and you are safe.
